I'd like to duplicate a bit of functionality I have in various Mac
mail clients and newsreaders. In those newsreaders I can highlight a
region of text in an article, and select "reply" which then properly
quotes and rewraps the text into the reply article.
In Gnus, all I seem to be able to do is reply or reply-and-yank the
whole article, which is kind of annoying if I am replying to one point
in a long post. I'd be astonished if there is no way to select a
region of text in a post and have it automagically quoted into a
reply. But I don't know how to do it, or how to configure Gnus to
make this possible, and haven't found anything in the manual about
it.
Anyone know how to do this? Thanks!

Oh. Well, newbie alert here! I assumed that the Emacs and Gnus
versions were tightly bound. Thanks for the tip!
